CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

The present application is a continuation application of U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 14/981,455, filed on Dec. 28, 2015, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/069,345, filed on 28 Oct. 2014, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.

BACKGROUND

Optimally, the levels of magnesium and calcium in a human body are in a balanced state. Magnesium functions physiologically in the body to control nerve action, heart activity, neuromuscular transmission, muscular contraction, vascular tone, blood pressure, and peripheral blood flow. Magnesium regulates the entry and release of calcium from cells which is determinative of muscular activity. When cells lack sufficient magnesium to balance calcium, it is harder for cells to relax, resulting in a stressed state. When there is insufficient magnesium in muscle cells, in particular, the calcium may cause the muscle cells to contract, resulting in muscle cramps.

Deficiency of magnesium generally can not only cause muscle cramps, but has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of various clinical imbalances, disorders, and/or harmful conditions, including weakness, fatigue, cardiac arrhythmia, respiratory arrest, increased irritability of the nervous system with tremors, anxiety and panic attacks, asthma, blood clots, bowel disease, cystitis, depression, detoxification, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, hypoglycemia, insomnia, kidney disease, migraines, musculoskeletal conditions, nerve problems, obstetrical and gynecological problems, osteoporosis, Raynaud's syndrome, tooth decay, athetosis, jerking, nystagmus, disorientation, hallucinations, depression, epileptic fits, hypertension, tachycardia, tetany and in extreme cases, even death. Magnesium deficiency can also lead to a disruption of the body's electrolytes, which may be a condition known as hypomagnesemia.

Despite the harmful symptoms of magnesium deficiency, many persons do not receive the recommended daily magnesium requirement-320 mg for women and 400 mg for men. Rather, magnesium intake for the majority of people is apparently between 175 mg and 225 mg per day.

Magnesium deficiency and hypomagnesemia is particularly common among patients in hospitals. Chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, alcoholism, chronic stress, and use of medications such as diuretics may lead to magnesium deficiency. In addition, magnesium deficiency can be the result of a diet lacking magnesium. For example, common nutritional sources of magnesium are green leafy vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains-foods that have been increasingly rare in diets consisting of large quantities of processed foods.

Oral magnesium supplements are often absorbed by the body at lower-than-desired rates. This is partly the result of the fact that the magnesium found in such oral supplements are delivered as they pass through the digestive system before circulating to the rest of the body, and often ends up released from the body prior to circulation—via the kidneys, bowel excretion, and due to not being effectively absorbed by the intestines. Oral magnesium supplements may also result in undesired gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, mild abdominal cramping, loose stools or diarrhea.

These undesirable symptoms of oral magnesium supplements may occur in some people at low levels of oral magnesium supplementation. The upper limit—defined as the lowest amount of a nutrient given as a supplement that will cause any symptoms—of magnesium supplement is generally 350 mg and lower than the male recommended daily allowance. Thus it is desirable to have non-oral magnesium supplements, which that bypass the problems associated with magnesium passing through the gastro-intestinal tract. Although magnesium may be injected into the body, many prefer a less invasive and more convenient method of delivery.

In addition, some prior transdermal magnesium supplements, for example—those in the form of liquids, oils, and/or gels, may not be attractively convenient methods of application. Rather, such earlier transdermal supplements may be messy, sticky, oily, leave a residue on the skin, rub off on clothes, and may benefit from persons to wait for prolonged periods for the supplement to dry or evaporate before being able to place clothing over the treated portions of skin. In addition, regardless of other desirable qualities that some prior transdermal magnesium supplement might possess, it nevertheless might present certain disadvantages due to real or perceived inconvenience associated with its form as an oil, gel, or other liquid (or pseudo-liquid).

Furthermore, in other cream transdermal magnesium supplements, the cream and liquid elements of prior compositions may lack adequate viscosity, and be therefore more prone to separation, thus making application of the substances less attractive. Moreover, prior magnesium supplements may be designed to increase the global level of magnesium in a body, rather than focus on alleviating pain in certain localized areas of the body, by providing needed magnesium supplement foremost to those localized areas.

The above summary is not intended to describe each embodiment or every implementation of embodiments of the present disclosure. The Figures and the detailed description that follow more particularly exemplify one or more preferred embodiments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

The accompanying drawings and figures illustrate a number of exemplary embodiments and are part of the specification. Together with the present description, these drawings demonstrate and explain various principles of this disclosure. A further understanding of the nature and advantages of the present invention may be realized by reference to the following drawings. In the appended figures, similar components or features may have the same reference label.

FIG. 1 is an illustration of a cell where levels of calcium and magnesium are balanced.

FIG. 2 is an illustration of the cell of FIG. 1 where calcium has entered the cell because there is a deficient level of magnesium.

While the embodiments described herein are susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail herein. However, the exemplary embodiments described herein are not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the instant disclosure covers all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present disclosure relates to transdermal magnesium supplement in the form of cream, which may deliver magnesium into the human tissues. The magnesium may assist in, for example, alleviating localized pain symptoms of magnesium deficit in muscle/nerves and other tissues. Transdermal delivery of magnesium supplement via a cream may be more effective and avoid many of the harmful side effects associated with oral magnesium supplements. Transdermal delivery of magnesium supplement via a cream may also be safer, more convenient, less painful, and more patient friendly than injections or intravenous therapy, thus improving patient compliance.

Embodiments of the transdermal magnesium cream compositions or supplements described herein may be more convenient and not possess some of the undesirable qualities (and/or perceived undesirable qualities) associated with prior transdermal magnesium supplements, such as leaving a residue, and/or having an unattractive texture or sensation against the skin. Rather, when compared with prior transdermal supplements, the compositions described herein may have a surprisingly pleasant texture, may be absorbed quickly into the skin, and may dry or evaporate more quickly from a skin surface, may be less sticky, and may leave less of a residue on the skin. Furthermore, the compositions disclosed herein may include a transdermal magnesium cream compositions having more optimal viscosity than other cream transdermal magnesium supplements, wherein the cream and liquid elements of the prior compositions may be more prone to separation, and thus may have methods of application that are less convenient and comfortable. Prior compositions of transdermal magnesium supplements have not adequately carried sufficient magnesium while maintaining a lotion texture that makes application sufficiently soothing, easy, and attractive.

Qualities of the composition described herein may have the surprising result of persons with magnesium deficiency using the transdermal magnesium cream compositions more frequently and regularly than other know supplements, which may lead to more effective treatment. Furthermore, although it is anticipated that embodiments of the transdermal magnesium cream compositions will have high levels of magnesium chloride, or similar ingredient, it may be the case that, due to its convenience and comfortable method of application, the transdermal magnesium cream compositions may be even more effective in treating magnesium deficiency than other transdermal solutions with a conceivably higher concentration of magnesium. This result may be somewhat surprising since one might normally expect a solution with a higher concentration of magnesium to be more effective in treating magnesium deficiency.

Moreover, the transdermal magnesium cream compositions, an embodiment of which is described herein, may alleviate localized pain in an effective manner, by such application and reapplication to those localized areas of the body suffering pain and/or discomfort, due to localized magnesium deficit in muscle, nerve or connective tissue cells. This surprisingly effective pain relief may be due, at least in part, to the composition of certain embodiments, which may provide a high level of permeability, allowing the solution, and in particular the magnesium of the supplement, to be absorbed through the skin. An additional advantage of this cream composition and method of application is that a person may control how large of doses to apply according to user preference and according to level and location of pain.

One embodiment of the transdermal magnesium cream compositions described herein may contain some or all of (but not limited to) the following ingredients and equivalents thereof: magnesium chloride, aqua (water), cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate, cetyl alcohol, isopropyl palmitate, emulsifying wax, glycerin, butyrospermum parkii (shea butter), hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, and one or more of iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid and sorbic acid. One embodiment may contain one or more of i) iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, ii) phenoxyethanol and caprylyl glycol, or iii) benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid and sorbic acid. It is anticipated that a number of emulsifiers, fat soluble components such as moisturizers, thickeners, emollients, humectants, preservatives, and combinations thereof could be used to attain a cream form that does not separate under typical environmental conditions and provides transfer of magnesium through the skin. In some embodiments, the cream may have a smooth creamy texture.

Furthermore, depending on the embodiment, the percentage of magnesium chloride may vary. In certain embodiments, for example the percentage may be as much as the composition will allow. In other embodiments, the percentage may be about 10%. Although it is anticipated that the transdermal magnesium cream compositions may have broad applications in a number of circumstances and for persons in a variety of situations, embodiments thereof may have specific application for those experiencing muscle cramps or inflammation in certain localized areas, and also for hospital patients.

Also claimed herein, and described more fully in the description section below, is a method for making such a cream/lotion of transdermal magnesium supplement. In addition, as described in more detail in the examples below, some embodiments may include ingredients that are less likely to have harmful side effects than other potential ingredients.

Referring to the figures, FIG. 1 shows a cell where the levels of magnesium in the cell are sufficient to maintain a desirable balance with the calcium (shown in white), and to keep the calcium on the outside of the cell (or properly sequestered within the cell).

FIG. 2 shows a cell in a state where the calcium (shown in white) has entered the cell, causing the cell to be in a state of stress and to contract. The cell is less able to relax where there are insufficient levels of magnesium to force the calcium back out of the cell (or into sequestration), causing the cell to be in a constantly stressed state. Where the transdermal magnesium cream compositions is applied, however, to a localized area of the body suffering from such a state due to magnesium deficiency, the appropriate balance between calcium and magnesium is able to return, and the cell may return to a more relaxed state where the calcium is outside the cell (or in sequestration), as shown in FIG. 1 thus leading to less pain.

Various forms of magnesium may be used according to the embodiments disclosed herein. Magnesium chloride is particularly effective at transferring through the skin while also being relatively comfortable when applied to a person's skin.

Testing was conducted on a number of magnesium chloride compositions to determine effectiveness for the resulting transdermal magnesium cream composition to: 1) transfer magnesium through the skin, 2) provide comfort when applying the cream to a person's skin, and 3) maintain coalescence as a cream composition without separating. The following example formulations and/or compositions provide the desired objectives. These compositions, when created according to the procedural steps and other notes provided after the listing of components of the composition, were found to be particularly effective in meeting the objectives noted above.
